I have high hopes for this week. I'm hoping for some magic :] I've got a few tricks up my sleave. Shh...for now. I can say that I am very excited to clean up the studio so I can actually work + relax. Major overhaul tonight + tomorrow night. I have new gessoboards to hang (2 huge [for me] ones + about 6 smaller ones). There's nothing like a blank canvas staring you in the face, begging to be played with :] It's been a little while.

Yum...I smell popcorn popping. At work we have a big popcorn cart. I have to fight the urge everyday to eat it :] haha. Today starts my diet + exercise. I haven't been eating too healthy since my trips. Last night it was Ben + Jerrys :] I tried the new Imagine Whirled Peace flavor. "When Ben & Jerry’s wanted to talk about peace, we couldn’t think of a better person to exemplify the message than John Lennon. Through his art and lyrics he imagined a world without war and asked us all to 'Give Peace a Chance'. We hope this whirly mixture of toffee cookies and fudge peace signs enlightens your bellies and souls and makes you ask what you can do to promote peace in your lives."
